# Making a winery keepsake with the Wine Country Map preset

> a rolling vineyard valley in warm wine-and-cream tones

Wine regions are some of the most evocative places on a map - rolling farmland, hill forest, a river threading the valley. This preset leans into that: farmland fills as vineyard rows in a dusty wine rose over warm cream, sage hill forest, soft blue water, and burgundy lanes. It ships set up on the Napa Valley; search any wine region in the world - Bordeaux, Tuscany, the Okanagan, Mendoza - and the palette follows.

## What you need

### Print (recommended)

- The exported 4096 px PNG and a photo print service (or your own printer), frame of choice - or a UV flatbed onto white [acrylic](https://yxecreations.com/pages/acrylic-sheets) for a tasting-room piece

### Laser engrave

- 3 mm [Baltic birch](https://yxecreations.com/collections/laser-grade-plywood) or a bamboo board/coaster; laser engraver

## Step 1 - Frame your valley



Open [the Wine Country Map preset](/map-designer?preset=wine-country-map). It loads on the Napa Valley at zoom 11.5. Search your region and adjust zoom so the valley floor and surrounding hills both sit in frame - vineyards read best when the farmland fills a clear band through the middle.

## Step 2 - Tune the palette



One **Valley** layer holds everything: cream land base, farmland in a dusty wine rose (`#B5838D`) standing in for vineyard rows, sage forest on the hills, soft grassland, blue water and river, and three burgundy road tiers.

- Push farmland toward deep burgundy `#8E5A6B` for a richer, more obviously "wine" read, or toward gold `#C9A24B` for a Tuscan harvest look.
- If your region is more orchard or olive than vineyard, the same farmland fill still reads as cultivated land.
- Keep roads subtle so the field pattern stays the hero.

## Step 3 - Export



- **Print:** high-res PNG (4096 px), Background on.
- **Laser engrave:** combined SVG; the farmland fill maps to a mid-tone engrave, roads and river to lighter passes.
- **Small-polygon cleanup** on to keep tiny field slivers from cluttering an engrave.

## UV & Sublimation Printing

### Framed print / UV print



1. Export the PNG and print at 250–300 mm on matte paper - matte suits the dusty palette.
2. Add the winery or region name and a year as a caption for an anniversary or visit keepsake.
3. UV variant: print on white acrylic for a glossy tasting-room display piece.

## Laser Cutting & Engraving

### Engrave on wood or a board



1. Export the combined art and engrave on bamboo or birch; the vineyard fill becomes the dominant mid-tone.
2. For a serving board or coaster set, engrave a tight crop of the valley and finish food-safe.
3. Cut the perimeter; optionally paint-fill the river blue for a pop against the wood.

## Make it yours

- Anniversary gift: the valley where you got engaged, with the date engraved below.
- Winery merch: the estate's own region as a coaster set or a framed cellar-door print.
- Region series: Napa, Bordeaux, Tuscany, the Okanagan as a matching gallery wall.
- Bottle-match: recolor farmland to the label's signature color for a branded gift.
